Music is taught in an engaging and purposeful way at Gosford Park Primary School, where pupils learn by linking new knowledge and skills to those previously learned. Our curriculum includes study of musical theory and practical application. Pupils have the opportunity to play instruments; reading notation; peer reviewing performances and sharing their opinions.

Throughout their time with us, the pupils will revisit our key knowledge threads as part of each music area: Tempo, Dynamics, Texture, Pitch, Rhythm, Melody and Timbre. These key threads enable the children to learn how music is put together and how they can use these features in their own compositions.
